Are there questionnaires and permission documents too for the BorSouthWomen?
I have already sent to you the scanned questionnaires and one premission document for the BorSouthWomen. I will forward that message to remind you about it.
There is one song for which you did not send a metadata file:
BorSouthWomen_chunk1_22AUG_Ayakyak.wav
Is that one still following?
Yes, I am working on its metadata and I will send it soon as well.
Also, can you explain me how the file name works? Are they all groups songs?
Yes these songs were sung together. Above all, the styles used are always sung in groups.
Then the first field 'BorSouthWomen' is fine. But what does chunk mean here?
I am trying to cut the song file so that it possible to send them using yousendit and to make it easy for me to annotate each song from the longer wav files, that is why I call it chunk.
BorSouthWomen_chunk_22AUG11_Dany.wav
BorSouthWomen_chunk2_22AUG11_Dany.wav
Are these two chunks from within a single recording? Yes!
Also, what does 'dany' mean? Dany is a style or a catogery use by women only where they stand in circle while clapping and sing. Sometimes they ululate and jumb up and others remain clapping and sing together. One person lead songs.
BorSouthWomen_chunk1_22AUG11_War1.wav
BorSouthWomen_chunk2_22AUG11_War1.wav
Are these two chunks from within a single recording? yes!
Also, what does 'War1' mean?
War is also catogery or style use by both women and men. It is usually in types; two or more sing enterchanging, one sing his/her own song and other pick it right away or all of them sing the same song. I call War1 becuase there is War2 wav files.
